Musaned explains how to set domestic workers' weekly rest day in contracts
The parties' contract determines the rest day while respecting the domestic worker's statutory rights.

Musaned explained that the weekly rest day for domestic workers is determined by agreement between the parties in the contract.
The regulation published by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development entitles domestic workers to a paid weekly rest period of at least 24 consecutive hours. The day is agreed by both parties in the employment contract. Clearly documenting it helps organize the relationship and clarify obligations.
